Hasta Nakshatra — Lord, Deity, Symbol & Marriage Matching

Hasta occupies Virgo 10° – 23°20', which places it in Kanya (Virgo). A Deva gana star read as capable and good-humoured; the open-hand symbol is taken to mean what is needed can be made or found.

Hasta is Deva gana and Adi nadi. Nadi is the most heavily weighted of the eight kootas, and identical nadi between two horoscopes is read as nadi dosha — which is why the 8 other Adi nadi stars are the ones families check against first.

On gana and nadi together, Hasta matches 12 of the remaining 26 stars: Bharani, Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Purva Phalguni, Swati, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati. Scored across gana, nadi, yoni and graha maitri, its strongest pairing is Rohini at 21 of 23.

This page records what traditional kundli matching holds about this star, for families filling in the nakshatra field of a biodata. It is a guide to the convention, not a prediction — and no single koota decides a match on its own. Where a family takes matching seriously, an astrologer reads the full horoscope.
